Standard push on river?

CO has only been playing one orbit; no reads. He has not gotten to showdown yet, nor has he really gotten out of line.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) converter

CO ($13.20)
Hero ($48.60)
SB ($37.25)
BB ($44.65)
UTG ($22.80)
MP ($26.50)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, CO calls $0.25, Hero calls $0.25, 1 fold, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.85) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, CO bets $0.25, Hero raises to $0.75, BB folds, CO calls $0.50.

Turn: ($2.35) J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
CO bets $1, Hero raises to $3.75, CO calls $2.75.

River: ($9.85) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets $8.45...

The river is putting him all in.

Standard, or chip spewing?

You're trying to bluff him out of the pot? If you think he'll fold, I'd keep the bet at 1/3 pot.

This way your river bluffs only have to work 1/3 of the time to be profitable. (If you suspect both of you were on a draw and both of you missed, of course)

I didn't think he had a missed draw, I thought he had a hand about the strength of A7, or a similar hand which would presumably not call an all-in.

Bumping this old thread, but the bet was really only $3.35 because it was putting him all in. I just pushed for dramatic effect.

Anyway, is a move like this at NL25 profitable? His check just screamed weakness.

I just call the turn. Also, if I raise the flop, I raise a bit more.

What is your plan if you hit?

If you miss?

If I miss, I fold to a real bet. If he checks or bets weakly I might consider bluffing. If I hit, I raise if bet into and if checked to, I bet whatever I think he'll call. Often 1/2-2/3.

I don't like it at all, call the turn. Check behind river.
